I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 290 - 234: Defeating Seven Stars

"So, Fellow Daoist is actually a Tier Four Body Cultivator. What powerful Forbidden Breaking Divine Techniques!"

He never expected that the cultivator before him, who called himself "Jue Qing", was not only a Tier Four Array Master but also a successful Body Cultivator. His comprehensive methods clearly made him a difficult opponent.

"However..."

Seven-Star Daoist took a deep breath, a look of unwillingness flashing in his eyes:

"Without a fight, I can’t resign myself to this! The Void Crystal is a rare treasure of the world; how can it be handed over so easily?"

As he finished speaking, the mana around Seven-Star Daoist surged frantically. His cyan-gray Daoist robe fluttered without wind, rattling loudly, and the surrounding void trembled slightly under the immense force.

With a tight grip, he opened the Seven-Star Box once more. The box’s mouth gleamed brilliantly, and seven flying needles floated in front of him like awakened spiritual snakes.

The needles, snow-white in color, were engraved with intricate star runes. As mana infused into them, the runes glowed with a faint silver light, emanating a chilling intent. The tips of the needles even gathered sharp auras specifically to break through Dharma Bodies!

"Go!"

Seven-Star Daoist shouted decisively, his voice full of a do-or-die resolve.

With a flick of his finger, the seven flying needles transformed into seven beams of light, shooting towards Chen Sheng like meteors pursuing the moon, leaving fine traces in the void with slight starlight fluctuations.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng’s eyes narrowed. With a quick wave of his sleeve, the seventy-two Array Banners in the void suddenly burst with spirit light, preparing to swiftly maneuver into place to form the Thunder Kill Array.

But before the banners could form their array, Seven-Star Daoist suddenly opened his mouth and spewed a gray misty light, which instantly spread, transforming into an all-encompassing gale in the void.

Within the wind, countless starlights twinkled, as though the entire starry sky had been swept in, carrying a bizarre force that twisted reality as it howled.

Wherever the divine wind passed, the surrounding void began distorting, the originally stable space ripples became violent, and even small space cracks appeared, flickering within the wind.

More terrifying was the inversion force within the divine wind, like an invisible giant hand, striking the seventy-two Array Banners fiercely.

The banners wavered violently, their spirit light flickering like dying candles in the wind, unable to achieve formation smoothly. Some were even blown off course by the wind, drifting randomly in the void.

"Meteor Inversion Divine Wind!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting Seven-Star Daoist to master such a domineering Daoist Skill, no wonder he dared to fight even knowing the Grand Array was restrained by Forbidden Breaking Divine Light.

True to form, a Nascent Soul Cultivator from a Loose Cultivator background had some hidden tricks, and one minor slip could lead to a downfall.

But Chen Sheng remained composed, having pushed his Sword Heart to the limit. Every move of Seven-Star Daoist, every flaw in the divine wind, was clear in his perception.

With a flick of his finger, the Tingyu Flying Sword in his Dantian suddenly shot forth, transforming into a brilliant Sword Light, tracing a beautiful arc through the void.

Upon appearance, the Sword Light divided into seven identical beams, each radiating with majestic Sword Momentum, infused with the Power of Heaven and Earth, like divine weapons cleaving the skies, charging at the seven flying needles.

"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"

The seven beams of Sword Light collided with the seven flying needles mid-air, their crisp metallic clash echoing through the void. The shockwave from the collision spread like a tide, dispersing much of the "Meteor Inversion Divine Wind."

The starlight on the needles dimmed, obviously damaged by the Sword Light.

"Sword Intent Formation, Nascent Soul Sword Monarch!"

Seven-Star Daoist’s expression drastically changed, eyes full of disbelief. He had thought his opponent was merely a Body Cultivator and an Array Master, not expecting him to be a Nascent Soul Sword Monarch who had comprehended Sword Intent Formation!

A Tier Four Body Cultivator, a Tier Four Array Master, a Nascent Soul Sword Monarch—three top-tier abilities in one person; such an opponent was astonishingly formidable!

Before Seven-Star Daoist could recover from his shock, Chen Sheng acted again.

"Kill!"

He waved his sleeve, recalling the Tingyu Flying Sword and slashed it forcefully. The sword merged into the void, drawing in the surrounding Thunderbolt Power, rolling thunder sounded, making the void hum with vibrations.

In the next moment, the Sword Light split into thousands of flying swords, each exuding fierce Sword Qi, quickly weaving into a massive Sword Array, encasing Seven-Star Daoist completely.

As the Sword Array operated, Sword Qi crisscrossed, cutting the void with scars, countless small space cracks opened and closed within the array, exuding a devouring aura.

Seven-Star Daoist had no time to recall the damaged Seven-Star Needles, merely tapping his Mud Ball Palace hastily, spitting a dark red corrosive light, which enveloped him entirely.

This light was his refined Protective Divine Technique, using his Essence Blood to resist ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. However, against Chen Sheng’s Sword Array, it seemed fragile.

The Sword Qi fell on the corrosive light with sizzling sounds, dimming it visibly, threatening to shatter at any moment.

Observing this, Chen Sheng made another hand sign, causing the center of the Sword Array to shake violently. The Tingyu Flying Sword released a seven-colored divine light, sweeping across the array like a rainbow.

It was the killing move "Seven Emotions Divine Light" from the Seven Emotions Sword Scripture, swirling all worldly phenomena within the divine light. It did not attack the physical defense but assaulted the Dao Heart, a formidable intangible weapon.

The divine light was formless and intangible, yet directly impacted the cultivator’s Dao Heart, impervious to ordinary defenses.

Seven-Star Daoist’s mind instantly became hazy, his vision suddenly changed.

He felt he had returned to his youthful pursuit of immortality, climbing a thousand-foot peak, the mountain wind howling past his cheeks, eagles circling overhead, a profound abyss below, one misstep leading to his demise.

Next, the scene shifted!

He saw his arduously acquired cultivation resources being seized by a formidable enemy, witnessed himself suffering from heart demon backlash during seclusion; waves of pain, fear, and despair surged, almost overwhelming his Dao Heart.

Chen Sheng watched quietly as Seven-Star Daoist fell into confusion, knowing that just pushing the Sword Array a bit further would easily annihilate his opponent’s Dharma Body.

Yet he refrained from acting!

For he lacked the means to prevent a Nascent Soul from escaping into the Inner Void, and once Seven-Star Daoist’s Dharma Body was destroyed, his Nascent Soul would surely flee, thus becoming an unending enemy.

Chen Sheng wasn’t afraid of Seven-Star Daoist’s vengeance, using the false identity of "Jue Qing" now. Still, an eventual exposure would risk the Yunlan Chen Clan’s ire against a rootless Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Nevertheless, fact remained that Seven-Star Daoist, stemming from Loose Cultivation, had a Dao Heart much firmer than ordinary cultivators. In mere moments, he bit his tongue sharply, forcefully regaining clarity through essence blood.

When he saw the hovering Tingyu Flying Sword exuding lethal intent above him, he wore a bitter smile and slowly withdrew his mana, cupping hands toward Chen Sheng:

"Fellow Daoist’s methods are beyond me, thank you for sparing me."

He knew full well that if his opponent wished to destroy his Dharma Body and seize his Spiritual Treasures, he had no means of resistance, being fortunate enough already.

Seeing Seven-Star Daoist admit defeat, Chen Sheng also withdrew the Sword Array and Tingyu Flying Sword, looking at him with an indifferent voice:

"Since Fellow Daoist concedes, please leave. Should we meet again, refrain from engaging in pointless conflict."

Seven-Star Daoist offered a bitter smile, spoke no more, recalled the scattered Seven-Star Needles, turned into a stream of light, and quickly vanished into the void.

Only after Seven-Star Daoist’s silhouette completely vanished did Chen Sheng let out a sigh of relief. He raised his hand, taking out the Five-Colored Dust Transformation Cauldron, eyeing the Void Crystal lying quietly inside, a glimmer of joy in his eyes.

With this Void Crystal, the last barrier to his mid-stage Nascent Soul breakthrough finally vanished completely.
